Appears the photo has the wrong running number.

 

65035  is listed as a J21

Given that the last digit of the number appears to be 5 this could well be 65655, a photo of which micknich2003 posted above. It was active in 1958, was allocated to Dairycoates, and has the same arrangemant of tender coal rails as the Little Weighton locomotive.

Again - thanks for this information, Paul.

 

I wonder if 'micknich2003' happened to be on duty that weekend? The ECS and loco moves to cope with those additional services must have taken some planning and execution. Presumably the stock used was from the ECML services that were spare at the weekend but I guess they would still need to be moved to Hull and then berthed in the short term prior to being moved into Paragon for the Saturday morning. And then it would all need repeating again in the evening after the return of all the services from London!

 

Looking at the picture again, It doesn't look as if there is any capacity at Paragon to cope with the regular more local services, even though it was a Saturday! 

The stock came from various sources on the Friday evening and in the early hours of Saturday morning. Some was Eastern stock , some LM. The locos came from various places including a couple of Western named 47s. Some of the stock had been used on the previous days trips to London and these would also see use the following Sunday with the return workings from the Friday trips. The Deltic is on the scheduled 0700 Kings X service. 

Paddington and Marylebone destinations were used purely as a capacity issue at KGX.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks once more to knoxrj, on Flickr, we have a further four photo’s. Regarding yesterday’s Little Weighton photo’, I relied on the caption from knoxrj. I will try harder and check those captions each time to make sure the information is correct. 

 

So, the first photo’ is of a class A5, and I can only say that it is Willerby, as stated in the caption. There is no more information, but it looks to be an excursion train, in the mid 1950’s.

 

 

The second photo’ is near Scarborough, with B16/1, 61443, ahead of a K3, on an ECS working, on the 23rd July, 1960.

 

 

Next we have another ECS working, this time of B16/1, 61424, and a K3 which is tender first, at Scarborough, on the 27th June, 1959.

 

 

Finally, this is a photo’ of the deep chalk cutting near Little Weighton, with B1, 61039, on a freight to Hull. There are sadly no other details.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr, we have four more photo’s.

 

This first one is of Hull Paragon station. Sadly there is no more information from knoxrj, but it seems to be after the grouping going by the Gresley carriages.

 

 

The second photo’ is of D21, 1241, on a extra train from Leeds to Bridlington, blasting it’s way up Enthorpe bank, with eight ex-NER non corridor carriages.

 

 

This photo’, of class B1, 61320, just past Hunmanby station, with a return excursion, on the 23rd May, 1964, appears to have a Gresley buffet car five carriages from the engine.

 

 

Finally, here’s a delightful view of class N8, 76, departing Driffield, on a train from Driffield to Malton, running bunker first, in August, 1935. 
 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Saltend 14 August 1960.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for that excellent photo’, at Saltend, on the 14th August, 1960. It’s always most interesting to see a photo’ of a fireless engine.

 

This evening, with thanks again to knoxrj, on Flickr, we have another four photo’s to enjoy.

 

This first photo’ is of a class D49/1 at Bridlington, on the 17th June, 1959. It appears to be on a class 2 to Hull from Scarborough. There are no other details.

 

 

The second photo’ is of Enthorpe cutting, near to the summit and station. A double headed excursion train is seen blasting its way up to the summit, headed by D49/2, 62755, The Bilsdale, with an Ivatt 4mt 2-6-0 behind. The train is a BOCM special from Selby which I understand ran each summer. The first carriage is a Thompson five compartment brake second.

 

 

The next photo’ is at Cottingham South Junction, with B1, 61176, on the 15.45 from York to Hull, via Market Weighton, on the 22nd August, 1964.

 

 

Finally, we are at Beverley, Cherry Tree crossing, with a train hauled by class A8, 69890. A four wheel fish van is leading the formation, and will be leaving a fishy smell behind it. There are no details, but it is possibly a train to either Bridlington or Scarborough.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

[micknich2003]

Rob, Cherry Tree was my first signalbox. I can't positivly date the photo' but it is pre 15 July 1951 when the Down Main Starter, just seen above the engine, became a UQ signal.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks again to knoxrj, on Flickr, here are a further four photo’s.

 

The first one is of class B16/1, 61456, approaching Bridlington station, in c1955, on a summer Saturday extra.

 

 

The second photo’ is again of Bridlington, from c1955. Two D20’s are departing from platform 4, with D20 62395 leading. The train looks like another extra/excursion. 
 

 

The third photo’ is of yet another excursion train at Bridlington. This one being B1, 61131, on the 12th June, 1965. The train is going past the carriage sidings to the south of the station. Both the sidings have gone, along with the footbridge.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of Filey station, in about 1957. A B1, 61145, is at the up platform, on probably yet another excursion train. 
 

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

York, December 1922.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. Firstly, many thanks, Mick, for posting that excellent photo’ of York, old station, in December, 1922. That must have been some kind of exhibition to say farewell to the NER. 

 

This evening, courtesy of knoxrj, on Flickr, we enjoy another four photo’s.

 

The first one is of B1, 61018, Gnu. It is seen at Bridlington, possibly in the summer of 1959, just before the overall roof was removed.

 

 

The second photo’ is at Withernsea, in about 1949, with a class C12, and it’s train of non corridor carriages, getting ready to depart for Hull.

 

 

This next photo’ is back at Bridlington, with B16/1, 61429. Its another summer extra, and will again be sometime in the late 1950’s. The train is composed of ex-LMS stock.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of K3, 61875, before the building of the Anlaby Road flyover, Hull. The only date given is c1955. 
 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Fascinating photograph!

I like the G2 van with the roof hatch partly open.

What is the strange vehicle next to the left, next to the covered track. I can't enlarge it enough enough for clarity.

[Market65]

Good evening, everyone. This evening, with thanks once more to Knoxrj, on Flickr, we have a further four photo’s to enjoy.

 

The first one is of class J28, 2422, according to the caption details, at Hull Springhead, c1933.

 

 

The next photo’ is class D20, 1051, at Ferriby, on the 14.48 to Leeds, on the 13th May, 1939.

 

 

Thirdly, we have a photo’ of L1, 67755, A8, 69881, and G5, 67337, at Hull Botanic Gardens shed, on the 27th March, 1955.

 

 

Finally, here’s a photo’ of another class D20, 2011, powering along on a train from Hull to Leeds, passing Hessle, on the 10th September, 1932.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Sprotbrough signalbox, H&BRly Denaby Branch. Actually in South Yorkshire, but now a twist in the tail, it is presently being rebuilt on the Yorkshire Wolds Rly.

That's an interesting collection of stuff behind that D20.

 

A bit more up to date, newly reliveried TPE 185111 which was unveiled today at Hull Pagron.

Also a bit stupid of the designer to add an obvious arrow to the storm box above the loco number making it look like  it is a help line phone number. I am assuming it isn't but if it is by fortunate coincidence both the unit and phone number then a phone graphic is needed.

Good evening, everyone. This evening, we have four more photo’s by knoxrj, on Flickr. 

 

The first photo’ is of what appears to be correctly captioned as a class J24, number 1844. It is believed to be departing from Beverley in c1931. The scene today is very different!

 

 

The next photo’ is of two D20’s, 62395 and 62381, at Bridlington, arriving from either Filey Holiday Camp or Scarborough, on the 23rd August, 1954. Note the slightly wonky footplate of 62395.

 

 

The third photo’ is of D20, 2109, on a York, Market Weighton, and Hull train, near Cottingham South Junction, in c1934. The locomotive is nice and clean, and two horseboxes are at the front of the train. The second one is an ex-NER elliptical roof design, and is ex-works with a white roof.

 

 

Finally, we are in York station, with, in platform 7, in c1924, class B12/1, 1561E. This will depart on the 10.10 express train to Hull via Market Weighton, as part of the ‘Doncaster Triangle’. The leg from Hull to Doncaster would see it hauling the Banbury fish as far as Doncaster. In later LNER days B17’s would take over these workings. 

What a truly splendid sight the B12 makes.

 

Best regards,

 

Rob.

Good evening, everyone. This evening we have four more photo’s with thanks again to knoxrj, on Flickr.

 

The first one is B12/3, 61577, and B1, 61377, on Bridlington shed. There is no more information.

 

 

The second photo’ is of B16/1, 925, in possibly the early 1930’s, at Hull Dairycoates yard.

 

 

Next we have a photo’ of J23, 2474, departing Beverley - a chimney of Hodgon’s Tannery can be seen behind the trees - on what appears to be a cattle train. No date is given, but could again be the early 1930’s, or even the mid 1920’s.

 

 

Finally, we have a photo’ of B15, 822, waiting to back out of Hull Paragon after arriving with a special train, on Saturday the 22nd July, 1923, if the details in the caption are correct.

 

Best regards,

925 was the B16 bombed at York in 1942 along with 4469, wasn't it?

The last photo date of the B15 is wrong. The lettering layout is post 1928, in 1923 the lettering and numbers, would have been all on the Tender. The 1923- 1928 lettering/numbers layout is as on the J23 in the previous photo.

Thank you, micklner. I thought the date in the caption was wrong. I just wonder if it is possibly 1933. And yes, that J23 in the Beverley photo’ will be in the 1920’s, probably. 
 

Many thanks,
